Well, I guess human-writability wasn't a design goal for that, so I
skip it. It still makes sense to stick to general-purpose hierarchical
structure syntax though. Except that JSON has 2 problems: a) it doesn't
support comments natively, so we'll need to pre-process

I'm fine with the overall idea, but I'm not a big fan of adding support for comments for two reasons.

1) are these files really so exotic they need comments. ie:

  # run monkey
  {
    "commands": [ "monkey 2000"],
  }
I don't see those type of comments as useful

2) if comments are needed couldn't we work around it and still be valid JSON by doing something like:

  {
    "comment": "Let's pretend this is useful",
    "commands": [ "monkey 2000"],
  }
